Boris was Linka's cousin. He lived in Washington, DC with his father Dimitri, who worked as a Soviet ambassador to the United States. He served as a secondary antagonist in the episode Mind Pollution.

Biography

At the beginning of the episode Mind Pollution, it's evident that Boris is troubled. Verminous Skumm is quick to take advantage of the fact Boris is alone in a new city with very few friends. Boris turns to Skumm's drug, Bliss, in order to cope with his problems.

Linka refers to Boris as her favorite cousin, describing him as "charming" when Wheeler prompts a slight comparison. When he wanted more supply for the drug, Boris would bring the ring that Linka was wearing to Skumm but he ordered him to bring her to him. At first, Boris refused to do that to Linka because he loved her and would've never betrayed her to him. However, wanting more supply of the drug from Skumm, Boris hides some pills in Linka's food, prompting the Wind Planeteer to become addicted to the drug.

The death of Boris.

As a result, Wheeler has no sympathy for Boris in his final moments. Gi is more sympathetic, claiming Boris wasn't himself when he hurt Linka and that the drug made him do it. Wheeler, however, points out that no one made Boris take the drug; he did that by himself.

Boris dies of a drug overdose, possibly hastened by his loss of blood via the wounds on his arms, on top of the Capitol in Washington DC.

Personality

Boris was at heart a troubled teenager. He was extremely dependent on Bliss in order to cope with the angst of having just moved to Washington D.C. and not having many people to call friends instead of making friends naturally. While he did truly love his cousin Linka, this was unfortunately not enough for him to give up his drug addiction and decided to drug Linka in order to make sure he gets more Bliss. Ultimately, Boris' dependency ended up costing him his life as he died from a drug overdose.

Appearance

Boris was of a similar age to Linka, and shared her looks, with blonde hair and blue eyes. In his first scene, he was wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. Although he later on, his shirt changed to black with the image of a skull wearing a party hat. He went back to his red shirt before his final scenes. He also wore mirrored sunglasses in order to hide the symptoms of his drug addiction - his eyes turned a reddish-brown whenever he was feeling the effects of the drug.

He often appeared disheveled and tired, due to his drug addiction.
